Making a "taller" drop-down box?

We're using a drop-down select box as part of our site navigation system. All was fine until we went from 10 to 12 links in the box. Now a scrollbar has been added, which is a bit of a pain. (People may not see the last two options, and working it is more cumbersome than before.) Does anyone know of some way to force the box to display more choices, and so avoid the scrollbar?

Actually, Netscape (4 and 6) and Opera have no problem with displaying the whole list. Only IE (just 90% of our users!) forces a scroll when you exceed eleven lines. I suppose then I'm looking for some way to override the "user agent default" for Explorer, if that's possible here.

As for DHTML --very likely we'll be moving to that later this year when we do the next major site update.
